1 أخبار 24

١ 1 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ فِرَقُ الْكَهَنَةِ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ هرُونَ: أَوْلاَدُهُ نَادَابُ وَأَبِيهُو وَأَلِعَازَارُ وَإِيثَامَارُ.

These were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

٢ 2 وَمَاتَ نَادَابُ وَأَبِيهُو قَبْلَ وَفَاةِ أَبِيهِمَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُعْقِبَا أَبْنَاءً، فَصَارَ أَلِعَازَارُ وَإِيثَامَارُ كَاهِنَيْنِ.

But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.

٣ 3 وَقَسَمَ دَاوُدُ وَصَادُوقُ مِنْ نَسْلِ أَلِعَازَارَ وَأَخِيمَالِكُ مِنْ نَسْلِ إِيثَامَارَ، ذُرِّيَّةَ هرُونَ بِمُوْجِبِ الْخَدَمَاتِ الَّتِي أُوْكِلَتْ إِلَيْهِمْ.

David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service.

٤ 4 وَإِذْ كَانَ قَادَةُ ذُرِّيَّةِ أَلِعَازَارَ أَكْثَرَ عَدَداً مِنْ قَادَةِ ذُرِّيَّةِ إِيثَامَارَ، تَمَّ تَقْسِيمُهُمْ وَفْقاً لأَعْدَادِهِمْ، فَكَانَ هُنَاكَ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ رَئِيساً لِبُيُوتِ ذُرِّيَّةِ أَلِعَازَارَ، وَثَمَانِيَةُ رُؤَسَاءَ لِبُيُوتِ ذُرِّيَّةِ إِيثَامَارَ.

There were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and they were divided like this: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, heads of fathers’ houses; and of the sons of Ithamar, according to their fathers’ houses, eight.

٥ 5 وَقَسَمُوا الْفَرِيقَيْنِ بِالْقُرْعَةِ فَاخْتَلَطُوا مَعاً، وَأَصْبَحَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْقُدْسِ وَرُؤَسَاءُ بَيْتِ اللهِ يَتَشَكَّلُونَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ أَلِعَازَارَ وِمِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ إِيثَامَارَ.

Thus they were divided impartially by drawing lots; for there were princes of the sanctuary and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.

٦ 6 وَدَوَّنَ شَمَعْيَا بْنُ نَثَنْئِيلَ الكَاتِبُ مِنْ سِبْطِ لاَوِي أَسْمَاءَهُمْ فِي حُضُورِ الْمَلِكِ وَالْقَادَةِ وَصَادُوقَ الكَاهِنِ وَأَخِيمَالِكَ بْنِ أَبِيَاثَارَ وَسِوَاهُمْ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ عَائِلاَتِ الكَهَنَةِ وَاللاَّوِيِّينَ، فَاخْتِيرَتْ عَائِلَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي أَلِعَازَارَ، وَعَائِلَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ، مِنْ بَنِي إِيِثَامَارَ.

Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king, the princes, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the priests and of the Levites; one fathers’ house being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.

٧ 7 وَوَقَعَتِ القُرْعَةُ الأُولَى عِنْدَ إِلْقَائِهَا لِيَهُويَارِيبَ، وَالثَّانِيَةُ لِيَدْعِيَا.
